Hi, I've only just got into JRPG's and I want to buy a few including Resonance of Fate I'm only starting out with 3 so here's my list:

Eternal Sonata (Played the demo, loved the combat system)
Resonance of Fate (Looked at a few trailers and gameplay walkthroughs, instantly wanted)
Tales of Vesperia (I know it's rare in the UK and expensive but I loved the demo and it's to good to refuse :))

What do you think? Recommend any others for a starter? I really want to get into this genre

I thought Blue Dragon was quirky and fun.

Losy Odyssey - Hands down the best JRPG of this generation, with Tales of Vesperia coming in at a close second.

yeah Lost Odyssey is a great classical jrpg of the traditional kind. The begining of the Game is a bit difficult but later it gets easier (in my opinion ;) )

Resonance of fate is great too and has a real special combat system. But the fights are really hard (but fun if you like challenges) and strategically, sometimes you only need to make one mistake to lose a battle... but if you are not easy frustrated it's worth everything:uzi:

Eternal Sonata I played only the demo. It looks like a little fun game and used you can get it for a few bucks.

Tales of Vesperia I played only the demo too... and somehow I didn't like it.

last remnant is good. lost odyssey and tales are great. didn't really like eternal sonata. magna carta 2 isn't bad as well.

On the 360? I would pick up Lost Odyssey. Maybe Tales of Vesperia... I mean, since you're new to JRGs, I suppose anything will do. Personally, I think JRPGs have become very mediocre and generic now-a-days. :/ But I've also been playing them for years, so... :P

Honestly, I think your best best bet is to get a PS2, dude. So many good JRPGs on PS1/PS2. You can still find some good ones at online or wherever you shop for dirt cheap too. :O Persona 3 or 4, Final Fantasy VII-X, Odin Sphere, Dragon Quest VIII, Wild Arms 3, Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon... All great games. I can look at my collection later and list some more if you decide to go this route. ;3
